ITEM 4 . Ala CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA Redevelopment Agency Meeting of /D -O/s - Ace Al ACTION: MOORPARK REDEVELOPMENT AGE""" dv iL0 AV,9 AGENDA REPORT BY' To: Honorable Agency Board of Directors From: Nancy Burns, Senior Management Analyst Date: September 27, 2004 (MRA Meeting October 6, 2004) Subject: Consider Approving Proposal for First -Time Home Buyer Program Cabrillo Economic Development Cor] and Moorpark Advantage Realty Resolution Approving a Budget First -Time Home Buyer Services BACKGROUND Services for Provided by ?oration (CEDC) and Adopting Amendment for At its Regular City Council Meeting of June 16, 2004, the City Council approved general program guidelines for a Home Buyer Program for First -Time Home Buyers. At that meeting, the Council also approved a proposal from Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) for $34,250 for services to assist with this program. DISCUSSION While the City's First -Time Home Buyer Program is City -wide, the first seven (7) affordable units available through the program are in the Redevelopment Project Area. The sales prices that low income households will pay for the units were established to be consistent with requirements of Redevelopment Law. The use of Housing Setaside Funds for services associated with the First -Time Home Buyer Program is appropriate and consistent with the purpose of those funds. The proposal from CEDC for $34,250 provides for assistance with services such as planning and development of activities related to outreach, pre- screening of applicants, selection of qualified 000001 Honorable Agency Board of Directors Date 09/29/04 Page 2 buyers, preparing potential buyers for home ownership, and loan packaging services. Agency staff has interviewed licensed real estate agents who can provide services related to showing qualified buyers the seven (7) affordable units, explaining buyer responsibilities, and providing State - required disclosures to buyers. Staff believes that Moorpark Advantage Realty can fulfill these requirements in a cost - effective manner at an hourly rate of $125 per hour, not to exceed $14,000, or $2,000 per house, maximum. (This equates to approximately 2% per low income house and 1% per very low income house.) Information about affordability covenants and the loan documents will be provided to eligible low income buyers by City staff. The Agency portion of escrow costs for the three (3) Agency -owned units is expected not to exceed $4,500. The attached Resolution will amend the FY 2004/2005 budget to appropriate a total of $52,750 for the purposes described in this report ($34,250 for various services related to the First Time Home Buyer Program, $14,000 for real estate services and $4,500 for escrow costs, all associated with the First Time Home Buyer Program).
